Review by Tracey Winbush

Falling Down Fannin Street, the third studio album by Scarlett Johansson, showcases her skill as a singer-songwriter. The album is a mix of country, folk and blues, and features a number of guest appearances, including David Bowie and members of the New York Dolls.

The album's title track, "Falling Down Fannin Street," is a haunting ballad that showcases Johansson's voice at its best. The song is a tribute to the late Lou Reed, and features a spoken-word section by Bowie.

Other standout tracks on the album include "I Don't Want to Grow Up," a cover of the Tom Waits classic, and "No One Knows I'm Gone," a beautiful, melancholy ballad that features Johansson's voice backed by a mournful pedal steel guitar.
